Compiler for package installation

[djacobson]

When i try to install several packages i get the following error. For
example:

octave-3.1.50.exe:5>pkg install "miscellaneous-1.0.7.tar.gz"
returns:
*configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
*See 'config.log' for more details.
*the configure script returned the following error: checking for gcc...no
*checking for acc... no
*checking for cl.exe... no
*error: called from 'configure_make' in file C:\Program
Files\Octavechare\octave\3.1.50\m\pkg\pkg.m near *line 1238, column 2
*error: evaluating switch command near line 275, column 1
*error: called from 'pkg' in file 'C:\Program
Files\Octavechare\octave\3.1.50\m\pkg\pkg.m'

i have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 and cl.exe is located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin.  how do i tell Octave
this?
